            <title>Laguna Niguel Man Arrested for embezzlement and fraud in house flipping scheme</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Laguna Niguel, Orange County - Laguna Niguel resident, William Baker, was arrested Thursday for stealing almost a million dollars from investors in a investment scheme. Instead of using the fund for his clients, he used the fund for his personal use. From 2006 to 2008, Baker embezzled nearly $1 million from at least 10 investors.  Baker had promised investors the he would buy run down houses and then remodel them. Baker took the money from the investors and bought property, then put the properties in a trust for his son. He also used some of the investor's funds to pay back earlier investors.  </p>

Baker is most likely going to also face the charge of grand theft which is defined in California Penal code section 487(a ) and it states a person has committed grand theft when the money, labor, or real or personal property taken is of a value exceeding four hundred dollars ($400). A Laguna Niguel judge might also decide to add an aggravated white collar crime enhancement which adds five years to the prison sentence and is a $500,000 fine.</p>

            <title>Teen arrested in Anaheim for Assault with deadly weapon</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Fullerton, Orange County - According to Orange County Register, a 14-year-old boy was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and robbery on Saturday.  <br />
The incident occurred on Saturday three teegagers approached a man on the street in Anaheim and attacked him and stabbed him with a knife after they were trying to rob him.  The man was injured and the three boys fled the scene with the man's bicycle.  </p>

<p>The Placentia police investigators later on helped the victim find one of the boys who attacked him.  The boy was arrested and booked in juvenile hall.  </p>

<p>If your child as been charged with a juvenile offense, it is vital to seek the legal help of a <a href="http://www.topcalifornialawyer.com/index.html">criminal defense attorney</a> who has experience specifically in juvenile court.  Because juvenile court is an entirely different world compared to an adult court.  In juvenile court, the terminology is different, procedures are different, and many of the laws are different as compared to an adult court.  </p>

<p>In California, the most common <a href="http://www.topcalifornialawyer.com/lawyer-attorney-1401610.html">Felonies or misdemeanors</a> juvenile crimes include :  Assault - Penal Code Section 245; Battery - Penal Code Section 242, 243 ; Theft crimes - Penal Code Section 459, 484, 484(e); Shoplifting - Penal Code Section 484; DUI (Driving under the influence) - Vehicle Code Section 21352(a), 21352(b); Speeding and reckless driving, driving without license; Unlawful Firearms and weapons possession - Penal Code Section 12022; Sex crimes - Penal Code Section 261; Sexual assault - Penal Code Section 243.4; Drug crimes, including: drug possession - Health and Safety Code Section 11350(a); Drug transportation - Health and Safety Code Section 11352(a); Drug sales - Health and Safety Code Section 11352(a); Marijuana crimes - Health and Safety Code Section 11357(a), 11357(b)</p>

First, the attorney will try to keep the minor out of custody.  The attorney will work to keep the minor out of CYA (California Youth Authority) or Juvenile Hall and place the minor at your home, in school, and in the community where the minor belongs.  Second, the attorney will work to keep the offense off the record so that it will not hinder the minor in obtaining employment, getting a driver's license, and etc.  Third, the attorney will work to identify the problem that resulted in your child being charged with the offense, whether it may be drugs, alcohol, or hanging out with bad friends; so that the minor can stay out of the juvenile court system.  </p>

            <title>Costa Mesa Dentist charged with second degree murder for killing three patients</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Santa Ana, Orange County - A Costa Mesa dentist that killed three patients in his dental chair wants to be paroled.  Protopappas is currently serving for three counts of second-degree murder. His patients died while sitting in his dentist chair after receiving an overdose of anesthesia. Protopappas in past years stated that he was not responsible for the death of the three victims.  The Board of Prison Terms claims that Protopappas does not demonstrate an understanding of what he had done, and is therefore in ineligible for parole. However, Protopappas says that he understands what he has done and is no longer a danger.</p>

<p><br />
A <a href="http://www.topcalifornialawyer.com/">Santa Ana criminal attorney </a>is filing an appeal in Orange County court system stating that the parole board has violated Protopappas's due proves rights. His <a href="http://www.topcalifornialawyer.com/">Orange County criminal defense attorney </a>says that the parole was wrong in using Protopappas insight in to the murders as a gauge for parole and that he knows has remorse. He also claims that he can no longer be a danger because he will no longer be a dentist.</p>

<p>Under California Law, Second -degree murder can be defined in California Penal Code 187 as the unlawful killing of a human being, or a fetus, with malice aforethought. Murder is considered as one of the most serious crimes among all crimes.  In California the punishment for murder is very harsh. If found guilty of murder, you could face life in prison with out parole. <a href="http://www.topcalifornialawyer.com/">Orange County criminal defense attorney </a>Michael Guisti has noted in this case that a professional, such as a doctor, a physician, a surgeon, a therapist or any medical health care professional, who is convicted of murder, first degree murder, second degree murder, attempted murder, could you get life in prison, and the defendant could also lose his professional license.  If you or someone you know is facing murder charges or under investigation for murder, it is imperative to retain an experienced <a href="http://www.topcalifornialawyer.com/lawyer-attorney-1401625.html">Southern California criminal lawyer </a>immediately to protect your rights.</p>

However, investigators found out anyone can get a "degree" from "Canterbury University" for $180 from an internet website.  Peterson illegally ran an HMO under "National Health Care Organization," which claimed "doctors" can cure cancer patient without surgery.  These "doctors" were not licensed to practice medicine in California.  </p>

            <title>Irvine domestic violence cases on the rise </title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Irvine, Orange County - Irvine Police Department, City of Irvine, and victim's advocate groups are teaming together to raise awareness and prevent incidences of domestic violence.  Irvine has been famous for being the safest city with a population over 10,000 in the country.  However, Irvine has noticed an increase in the rise of domestic violence rates.  Several high profile homicides that occurred in Irvine during the past several years has been linked to relationship strife, such as, fatal shooting of Rebecca Benedict in 2009 by her ex-husband, who was a UCI grad student, regarding the custody of four-year-old son on, death of Janelle Peralta in 2007 after a bloody fight with her boyfriend, and the fatal stabbing of Yolanda Snyder in 2007 by her estranged husband. </p>

<p>A <a href="http://www.topcalifornialawyer.com/lawyer-attorney-1512145.html">prominent Irvine Domestic Violence Attorney</a> and <a href="http://www.topcalifornialawyer.com/">Orange County criminal lawyer</a>, Michael L.

He said domestic violence is serious crimes in California.  Many district attorney's offices have units dedicated just for domestic violence offenses.  District attorneys will often proceed with the charges and trial even if the victim forgives the defendant and decides to not press charges.  In addition, most jurisdictions impose jail time for domestic violence convictions, even for first-time misdemeanor offenses.  Convictions of this sort stay on your permanent record and can hinder you from getting a job or going through a background check.  Police has worked to increase the teamwork and communication between victim's advocate groups by inviting them on ride-alongs during busy nights of the week.  In addition, the police focused on increasing the training of its officers regarding domestic violence to raise the sensitivity of the issue and to prevent the crime before it happens.  </p>

<p>If you are charged with domestic violence, you need an aggressive, competent, and experienced criminal defense attorney to fight for you.  Just because you are charged with domestic violence does not mean the charges will stick. </p>
